Get Events with the Flow CLI

How to get an event from the command line


Use the event command to fetch a single or multiple events in a specific range of blocks. You can provide start and end block height range, but also specify number of the latest blocks to be used to search for specified event. Events are fetched concurrently by using multiple workers which optionally you can also control by specifying the flags.

flow events get <event_name>

Example Usage

Get the event by name A.0b2a3299cc857e29.TopShot.Deposit from the last 20 blocks on mainnet.

> flow events get A.0b2a3299cc857e29.TopShot.Deposit --last 20 --network mainnet

Arguments

Event Name

  • Name: event_name
  • Valid Input: String

Fully-qualified identifier for the events. You can provide multiple event names separated by a space.

Flags

Start

  • Flag: --start
  • Valid inputs: valid block height

Specify the start block height used alongside the end flag. This will define the lower boundary of the block range.

End

  • Flag: --end
  • Valid inputs: valid block height

Specify the end block height used alongside the start flag. This will define the upper boundary of the block range.

Last

  • Flag: --last
  • Valid inputs: number
  • Default: 10

Specify the number of blocks relative to the last block. Ignored if the start flag is set. Used as a default if no flags are provided.

Batch

  • Flag: --batch
  • Valid inputs: number
  • Default: 25

Number of blocks each worker will fetch.

Workers

  • Flag: --workers
  • Valid inputs: number
  • Default: 10

Number of workers to use when fetching events concurrently.

Host

  • Flag: --host
  • Valid inputs: an IP address or hostname.
  • Default: 127.0.0.1:3569 (Flow Emulator)

Specify the hostname of the Access API that will be used to execute the command. This flag overrides any host defined by the --network flag.
